DOD Meatbox 2015 review

Fresh Meat

Our Verdict

The 2015 Meatbox is very much like the original; it's enormously fun, but ultimately niche.

Pros

Fun to use.

Cons

Not all that versatile. Trouble with open B string upwards.

Unlike a conventional octaver, the Meatbox adds a synthesized sub-octave with a hint of envelope to your tone, and can even simulate subwoofers through a regular cab.

The pedal's raspy, nasal saw wave can be tweaked via the low and sub knobs, but it's best suited to baritones and extended-range guitars, since it has some difficulty tracking the open B string upwards.
